TOILET ARTICLE.

Application filed. March 1, 1928. Serial No. 622,175.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM G. KENDALL, a citizen of the UnitedStates,.and a resident of Newark, in the county of Essex and State ofNew Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Toilet Article, of whichthe following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The present invention relates to new and useful improvements in toiletarticles and it pertains more particularly to a container in the form ofa powder jar.

It is one of the objects of the present invention to construct thetoilet article so that it may be used to contain two forms of cosmetics,such, for example, as powder and rouge, either in loose form or in theform of a compact.

It is a further object of the invention to construct the device so thatthe rouge container will be more or less concealed in the cover of thedevice. Y

With the above and other objects in view, reference is had to theaccompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a top plan view of a deviceconstructed in accordance with the present invention;

Fi 2 is a detail sectional view taken on the hue 2-2 of Fig. 1;

Fi 3 is a detail sectional view illustrating t e hinge construction, and

Fig. 4 is a detail-plan view of the blank from which the cover for therouge container is formed.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, the reference character, 5designates a jar which may be of glass, porcelain, metal, or the like,and said' jar may be of any design desired. The upper end of the jar ispreferably formed with a finishing edge strip 6, which is secured inplace in the usual manner.

The reference character 7 designates the jar cover and said jar cover ispreferably bodily removable from the jar and is maintained in positionon the jar by frictional contact with the strip 6. The cover 7 isdome-shaped and is provided with a depending flange 8 which forms areceptacle 9. This receptacle 9 is provided with a hinged cover 10 andsuch hinged cover is pivotally mounted as at 11. To provide forpivotally mounting the cover 10 the jar cover 7 is cut out as indicatedby the reference character 12, and at each end of the cutout portiongears or lugs 13 are struck.

downwardly into the cover. Mounted in these lugs 13, is a shaft 14, andsaid shaft forms the intle of the hinge of the cover 10. As more 0 earlyshown in Fig. 4, the cover 10 is formed from a blank 15, which in turnis formed with an extension 16 bifurcated as shown at 17, to provide twoextensions 18, These extensions are turned about the pintle 14 as shownat 19 in Figs. 2 and 3, and form together with the pintle 14, the hingeof the cover 10. By this construction it is apparent that the cover 7 ofthe jar 5 may be bodily removed from the jar to give access to theinterior thereof, it being understood that the jar 5 would containpowder either in loose form or in the form of a compact.

The upper receptacle 9 formed in the cover 7 is adapted to contain rougeeither in the form of a powder or a compact, and access is had theretoby swinging the cover 10 thereof about its pivotal point or hinge 11 tothe dotted line position shown in Fig. 2.

From the foregoing it is apparent that the present invention provides atoilet article adapted for use on a dressing table or the like, whicharticle is adapted to contain both powder and rouge, access to eachcosmetic container being independent of access to the other.

What is claimed is:

1. In combination with a container and its cover, a second containerformed in the cover, a plurality of depending ears projectin riedthereby, and a hinged cover for said second container, said hinged coverhaving projecting portions adapted to be rolled past the pintle to formmeans for pivotally mounting said hinged cover.

2. A toilet article comprising a receptacle, a bodily removable covertherefor, a container formed in said bodily removable cover, saidcontainer being spaced with respect to the edge of said cover, a slotformed inthe cover between the receptacle and its edge, depending earsformed on the inner side of said bodily removable cover, and a hingedcover for the receptacle formed in the bodily removable cover, saidhinged cover being ivotally mounted between the ears of the bodilyremovable cover.
